Ashtanga Yoga is a serie of excersices performed in Vinyasa style. The original series (there are 6) is built up by K. Pattabhi Jois. We start with parts of the 1st serie . Because you are moving intense your body is warming up. And for the whole class you stay in this warm temperature to make your muscles warm and move easily. The features for ashtanga are power , discipline and endurance. So if you like to move intensive and want to bring your yoga practice to the next level; Ashtanga is definitely your new challenge.
CHAKRA YOGA
What are chakra's
Chakras are the energy centers. They are located in our energy body along the spinal colum. The energy is moving like spinning wheels at the chakras. They facilitate the flow of life force energy (prana) through the body. When all chakra s are balanced and unblocked it contributes to overall health and welbeing. There are 7 main chakra's each associated with specific physical, emotional and spiritual qualities. When practising yoga, every posture is stimulating one or more chakra's. That is why you feel so good after yoga, your energy is flowing free through your body without restrictions.
Chakra Yoga
For 7 weeks the theme of our Yogaclasses will be the chakra points. We will bring our attention to the chakra's , where you can feel them in your body and the emotions they represent. Every chakra has it s own frequency, we will practice the mantra's and also the music during class will be in alignment with the frequenties of the chakra´s. And our postures will stimulate each and every chakra during this weeks.
Starting October 17 with the rootchakra
October 24 Sacral Chakra
October 31 Solar Plexus
November 7 Heart Chakra
November 14 Throat Chakra
November 21 Third eye
November 28 Crown Chakra
On request there can be a Nidra session scheduled
What is Yoga Nidra?
When you practise Yoga Nidra your body and mind becomes in a state of deep relaxation. It s also called "Sleep Yoga" Your body is in the state as just before you fall asleep but your mind stays consious and aware. While you lay down on your mat, covered with a blanket, all you have to do is keep listening and follow the direction.
'Most people go to sleep without releasing their tensions in advance this is called Nidra, Nidra means sleep. However Yoga Nidra is the sleep after all burdens fall from you. This is about a completely different and higher quality"
Swami Satyananda Sarawati
During Yoga Nidra you can set a San Calpa, this is an intention you set for yourself in a short positive line. This is a very powerfull way to make changes in your life in a positive direction. By setting this intention there is a seed planted in your deep consiousness. Everybody is welcome to join this special Yoga session . Usually we have an active Hatha class on thursdaynight but this time it s all about rest, comfort, recharge and meditation. How can you prepare yourself? Wear comfortable and warm clothes. The studio is warm and there are mats and blankets available. Maybe you like to think about the Sancalpa you want to use during this Nidra session. A Sancalpa is an intention for yourself in a simple, short and positive line. Something you want to accomplish or wish for. Dont't force yourself and keep it simple. If anything comes up in your mind, you can use that and if nothing comes up, here are some examples to use untill you have your own SanCalpa:
I AM LOVE
I AM ENOUGH
I AM AT PEACE
I ACCEPT MYSELF UNCONDITIONALLY
I ATTRACT ABUNDANCE
Everything is possible !
